South African Bank's Name Used in Phishing Campaign

Bank account phishing seems to be at an all time high, the names and reputations of many institutions being used in the latest schemes.

MalwareCity discovered another hoax that replicates almost perfectly the official website of Nedbank, one of the largest banks in South Africa.

It looks as the banks customers are faced with a link that's supposed to take them to a page that will allow them to verify their account details. The rogue replica is filled with malicious scripts that make sure all the information provided by the unsuspecting victim is transmitted to the hackers that launched the phish.

The repository's name or the country are not that important. What's really important is the fact that cybercriminals just don't give up when it comes to stealing your credentials and other sensitive data. Keep them protected by avoiding any emails that seem suspicious, even if they seem to be coming from a legitimate institutuon.
